Now there are a few obvious ones, "500 miles" by the Proclaimers, "the Hardest Walk" J&MC, "I walk the line" by Johnny Cash, but these are not necessarily the right tunes to drive you on after walking 50 miles, knowing the hardest 20 are still to come. What songs would you suggest that have that "Eye of the Tiger" thing that will help us to keep going? We could build the ultimate Spa2Summit playlist!
I nominate "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse (or maybe "Eye of the Tiger"..?)
If there are sufficient nominations maybe we could have a poll to nominate the official Spa2Summit song, which we could then record as a charity record!
